    I'm surprised no one mentioned "Mr. Wizard"

    Mr Wizard and Prof Sumner-Miller asked a lot of thier viewers, and in return, the viewers got a lot out of it. The great thing was that "Why Is It So?" was watched my a LOT of children in Australia in the 60s and 70s, and a fair percentage I reckon became scientists and engineers, or had science based careers.

    but on lighter note....

    Thanks, yeah I was a HUGE fan of Voyage to the bottom of the sea, but yep it was Stingray I was referring to and Marina was a babe...

    I also forgot to mention Johnny Quest, there was a cool cartoon, SIM SIM SALABIM, quoting Hadjii....

    And don't forget Bud Brisbois, who played the trumpet for the themes from "Johnny Quest" and "The Jetsons"!

    The Puget Sound area lost JP Patches about a week ago. http://jppatches.com/

    This was reported to be the longest-running locally-produced TV show ever. My wife grew up in this area and was one of the original "Patches Pals". Both of our kids were regular watchers.
